Suddenly Sunday Sales! September 7th 2014

Okay so it’s not just “sales” but every book on here IS bargain priced. We’ve got some great looking new releases from this weekend too, so I thought I’d compile us a little “early” list.

Holding On (Lights of Peril Book 1) by A.C. Bextor <— Been hearing that this is one of the best MC/Biker series ever (and have some serious book addicts recommend it to me all the time!) Stephanie just found out that they’re on sale! “Books #1 & #2 are on sale Each for a limited time! This MC Series has great reviews and ratings. Check it out!”

Let Love Be (The Love Series Book 4) by Melissa Collins <—- and while it is book #4 in the series, it can be read as a standalone! Her husband died in an accident… “Eighteen years after losing her first and only love, Lucy is faced with the opportunity to find the happiness for which she’s always longed. Her own fears become her worst enemies as she learns how to embrace love once again.“

God Shaped Hole: A Novel by Tiffanie DeBartolo <— She wrote one of my all-time FAVORITE books, and now this one’s on sale too! It’s on my main TBR list and I know it’s going to blow me away… Marina LOVED it: “I’ve said it before on your site… love Tifannie’s writing. LOVE. I’ll read anything she writes and hoping there will be more!!!” and Suzanne says: “It is awesome! You will not regret one clicking!”

Knight (The Unfinished Hero Series) by Kristen Ashley <— Michelle points out that the first 3 in this series are still on sale, saying: “Knight, Creed and Raid!!! If you are in the mood for Kristen Ashley HEAVY then grab these. These men are her alpha men but with EXTRA testosterone. Unfinished heroes series.“

Trashy (Take It Off Book 10) by Cambria Hebert <— JUST RELEASED!! Each book can be read as a standalone… Here’s a bit from the blurb: “I moved out. I’m saving my stripper’s salary for an education that will get me somewhere better. But breaking the chains of a shitty past isn’t easy. He says I owe him. He says we aren’t done. I don’t care what he says anymore. I do care about Adam. But my history tells me I’m not the best judge of men. And the fact Adam’s been married four times tells me he probably isn’t a safe choice…” Here’s the Take It Off Series Reading Order (although they are ALL standalones).

Inevitable Detour (Inevitability Book 1) by S.R. Grey <— JUST RELEASED!! Okay this sounds good!! “Enter Farren Shaw. Not only is he older and intimidating, but he’s more sure of himself than any 29-year-old man has a right to be. Did I mention that he’s drop-dead gorgeous? Well, he is. He also happens to be my best friend Haven’s brother.” <— And then her best friend goes missing…

Reclaiming the Sand by Meredith Walters <— And here’s a bargain-priced reader recommendation. Oh yessss! I remember this blurb (she’s the bully and he’s the victim…) and then they meet again later on in life… Kandace loved it, saying: “Reclaiming the Sand by Meredith Walters was such a gem. I am so happy I finally listened to Nancy and read it. It was a truly unique story. I just adored Flynn. He had such a beautiful and loyal soul.“

Man of My Dreams by Faith Andrews <— Jennifer just sent me this add-on! “Missed one. Man of My Dreams by Faith Andrews is on sale for 99 cents ” From the blurb, she and her husband are separated… she goes to her high school reunion and “Although her heart still belongs to her husband, inescapable thoughts of her crush, Noah, resurface. And ten years later, Noah isn’t afraid to make his move.” BUT!! Her husband is still around… “Mia is his one and only and he’s not about to let another man win her heart.”

Um…yeah… Did I mention how tragic Written in Red is? Right Michelle S? Total sob fest, Fabi is so mad.
And …um…that’s where Amy is now…yeah she’s crying. Tragic, heart breaking book.
Really everyone who likes that should one click, Maryse.

btw, Meg is so smart! I love how she handles everyone. I wish I had that kind of personality. When I grow up, I wanna be just like her. (Oh, wait, I think she’s almost young enough to be my daughter, oops). Well, “when I grow older” I wanna be just like her.

Sorry Fabi that Michelle and didn’t tell you about that twist. You know the one that leaves you just gasping in shock and pain. Man your head must hurt from all that sobbing. * spastically winks at Michelle and Fabi*

You guys are SOOOOO easy. Just say “heartbreak” and click-click-click! (I’m just as bad. If I read a review and it says it was gut-wrenching and achingly beautiful and loads of crap like that then I am usually following the herd….. MOO…..).

I’ll play along with the WiR sell: the pain! the sorrow! I can’t take it. Needed oodles of Kleenex! My stomach is still in knots!

Did anyone actually read Rule, BTW? I said based on THAT list it would be my pick, because I actually liked it. Not that it was the best thing since sliced bread.

I have a few descriptions that make me one click especially in this genre. A slow burn, a good grovel scene, likable heroine, flawed hero, etc.
I just watched the first season of Arrow based on descriptions of the Oliver/Felicity ship.

I went completely off script and went for “Half Blood” – Covenant #1 based on the snippets between Amy and “the other Michelle”…. and I am LOVING it. I don’t care if it’s labeled YA or teen or whatever. It’s awesome. I love the heroine and all the guys so far are hot. Cool premise too. It’s pretty predictable with the set-ups ( halfs can’t be with pures so you know that’s inevitable, and other such scenarios) but still really good.

Oh Bev – you should definitely read The Opportunist, Dirty Red, and The Thief. They don’t disappoint!!

Just finished Fate Book. I concur with Michelle… It was stocked full of good stuff. Ok, so if you guys like this book then I think you guys will like “Hush” by Maree Green (I think I mentioned previously). Fate Book was lighter, but similar kind of feel.

And since it’s on your list up there, I have to say that it was painful getting through The Fiery Cross – that was the one the size of a shoe-box (1400+ pages) and I read it as a book (so I think I got tendonitis). And it was the one that had that 200 page wedding scene, didn’t it? Suffice it to say, it was NOT a re-read for me. (Still love Outlander and Jamie will always be my number one book husband so no tomato throwing please).

Maryse – it was the “beating” for me that made me furious – I forgave him, but I’ll never forget that scene. It should be coming up soon in the series. Maybe even next week? Are you watching it on STARZ? Love who they picked for Claire. Not so much with Jamie. He smirks too much.

I’m behind on the episodes but I have to disagree with the characters. I really like Jamie but Clare looks a bit old for the role. Wasn’t he late teens or early 20s and she just a handful of years older?

bathtub? you must be referencing Fiery Cross? All I can think of is the Hot Springs (wow, a scene I have to admit I revisit repeatedly) I’m 1/4 through book 2. Quite a ways to go but absolutely love Outlander. And the series is awesome! I think the casting is quite perfect.

I found a great series by Sarina Bowen and the first book “The Year We Fell Down is on sale for .99 cents. Just went through her entire catalog of books this weekend. This is a new adult series and she has another series about skiers. Highly, highly recommend!

Only read the first Outlander book. Been so long I’ll have to use the show to refresh. I have yet to watch it but have seen so many love it.
Only 30% in All of You. I’m going to have to pick up my reading pace to be ready for Rock Addiction.

Cheryl – I read Nothing Left to Lose last week and really enjoyed it. The beginning shocked me since it really jumps into the story right off. There are great moments and I loved the ending. My only complaint was that it was very drawn out in parts during the middle of the book, however, I still really recommend it.

I agree Maryse that both actors for the Outlander series are great. I’m drooling over the actor for Jaime especially – he is perfect! The only thing I wished for Claire, which may seem stupid but it made her unique in my mind, was her eye color described in the books. It would be cool if they gave her the golden hawk eyes with contacts.

How many are jumping on Rock Addiction tomorrow? I’m soooo tempted. It’s not part of a continued series is it? I wonder if I can finish WiR tonight? I stayed up till almost 3 am reading and my alarm goes off at 5. I dont know how many times I hit snooze. Lol But that means I’m too tired to do anything else tonight, so I could curl up on the couch and read to my hearts content. I love Meg, she is so awesome. The things she says under her breath always have me gaffawing out loud. Yeah the ugly unexpected laugh you can’t help. I really hope no one eats her.

Not me, Fabi. I am enjoying the Covenant Series too much. I don’t care if they call it “teen” or YA (which is why I avoided it) – it has more steam than many adult novels. You don’t always need pure smut. Sometimes good old fashioned crushes work better. And the paranormal storyline is really good. Different. Interesting. Not going to squirrel away from this one, I don’t think.

Yeah MichelleS, many (most) of the YAs I read are as steamy if not more So than the adult ones. Maybe not quite as descriptive, But most of us females don’t need the visuals all the time. We have awesome imaginations!

Bev I love Meg. I don’t want to leave her. lol I love the big bad wolf too even if he does huff and puff and nearly blow her house down sometimes. He’s still lovable because he’s so clueless (typical guy wolf)

About Me

I am happily addicted to reading but I need to expend my book energy (especially when one puts me in an emotional frenzy - SO fun!). So, I release my feelings about the stories, by writing them down here. It's my book therapy. [ read more ]
